Roberta Flack…


Where is the love for this lovely woman’s voice?!!

The First Time Ever I saw Your Face.

Killing Me Softly With His Song.

The Closer I Get To You.

Sheesh! We should celebrate this woman like we do Whitney!

What a set of pipes👍

Great singer and still alive today...87 years old now.

reply

Good for her, gotta love that voice, she had a fine career.

reply

I can't find anything to confirm it, but I swear I remember reading that her version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was recorded in one take.

I finally saw"Play Misty For Me" about 8 or 9 years ago. What a great movie that is... that song is just such a big part of that movie.

reply

Wow! This will teach ya! Never bring up Roberta Flack again! How in the hell did we go from “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face “a beautiful love song, to ”The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face…I Wanted To Smash It Into The Gutter!”?

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but this folks is the definition of Going Off The Rails!!

db strikes again!

I posted this out of respect to Roberta but db went kooky again. Maybe he wanted attention like an infant does but he’s got to be about 70😄

Meanwhile I’ve been quite polite to him and he is hiding…I’m trying to be nice.

reply

You fuckin' snake! I already said that my reaction had nothing to do with your topic, but your attempts at baiting me did.

And now you're trying to cover your phony ass because you got the reaction you wanted, namely, pissing me off. Where's that phony peace emoji now, punk?

reply

I have no idea what just set you off.
For real and totally honest, just relax dude. There's NO attack intended, I would much prefer peace than a stupid ongoing fight.

I posted about a great singer that I admire and you turned my thread into a brawl ! If anything I should be calling YOU names and cussing you.

If you act nice you get nice.

For the record, Kap, I had a girlfriend once that dedicated that song to me. I'm an actual musician. I've got a shitload of black music in my house. Yonkers is a punk ass wannabe.

reply

Hide behind your 'black records' all you want and plea for allies as much as you can but seriously, you have been foolish here. People can read it. I'm trying to be friendly after years of mutual hatred.

I'm willing to be cordial with you in any event.
We don't have to be the best of friends but le't's deescalate our angry nonsense, I think MC deserves much better.

What do you say?
We could attempt to get along.

reply

You wanna talk music, you fake, falsely accusing punk? Here's one for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtTGfWDamVE

reply

I paused Van Halen for this?!?

That was not very nice, I have been quite polite to you for at least a week yet you remain angry. WTH is that about?

We have been in the biggest MC feud ever for at least five years now, we despised each other and if we were locked in a room with rusty razors only one of us would have walked out.

This site is worth more than our mutual dislike. Our hate makes the board uncomfortable. I am attempting to be nice so new posters and oldies don't bounce.

We can continue to strongly dislike each other but for the sake of MC we can behave politely.

And if we ever meet in person offline all bets are off LOL!

reply

Couldn't have set it better.

Trivia - my ex was on a magazine cover w/ Whitney when dey was young.

reply

Wow, that’s cool!

reply

I'm telling y'all what, if a new poster came here and looked at the different topics on the front page of this message board and the number of posts with each they'd say "Goodness gracious this board sure does love Roberta Flack!" 😂🤣





Don't smack me.

reply

Evidentially we all seem to love Roberta but some of us don’t love each other😄

reply

I'm just being an imp. I'm just imagining someone coming to this message board and seeing over 100 posts on Roberta Flack and honestly I'm giggling so hard I can hardly stop. Next you need to post a thread about Peabo Bryson and see if we can make it triple digits. 😁

As in life message boards have their opportunities for arguments. You're clearly a very kind person though so I would just be secure in that and not worry what anyone thinks.

reply

Yeah, funny how that well intentioned thread got totally derailed by a silly joke, an innocent response and an angry guy spoiling for a fight😆

I didn’t fight, what’s the point?

reply

Haha - Curiousity finally got the better of me after seeing it hit 140+ posts this morning!

Fully expected to see it had derail into some Trump thing, so at least it wasn't that...

reply

😂🤣

Oh yeah, that’s the baby making music!

Great song!

JEEZUS christ this thread is like a room full of bickering children . or Karens perhaps.


reply

It was certainly started with good intent and went in a strange direction!

Fight!Fight!Fight!Fight!
